Let me share a little secret with you — Impossible Taco Pie isn’t impossible at all. In fact, it’s incredibly easy to make! What seems like magic is how a simple mix of ingredients poured into a pie dish transforms into a cohesive, layered, and sliceable savory pie. It’s like culinary sorcery, but oh-so-delicious!
An “impossible” pie typically relies on a Bisquick batter poured over other ingredients, creating a crust-like layer as it bakes. This version leans more toward a tamale pie but is undeniably tasty. It’s a perfect blend of taco-seasoned ground beef, zesty salsa, cheddar cheese, and Bisquick magic, making it a comforting and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 (4.5 oz) can diced green chiles
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup Bisquick mix
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning.
- Add diced green chiles and salsa, mixing well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie plate and spread evenly. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together Bisquick, milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour this batter over the beef and cheese layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Serve warm, garnished with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, or extra salsa. Enjoy!
